Customer Seeks Guidance on Transferring Machine with Duty Credit Under Rule 3(5) Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 A company cleared two machines under DSIR (R&D Unit) to a customer without paying excise duty, later paying 6% duty on the invoice value. The customer now wants to transfer one machine to another excisable unit and seeks advice on the procedure. The response suggests obtaining a certificate from excise authorities confirming the duty payment, allowing the customer to claim credit and clear the machine by reversing the duty under Rule 3(5) of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004. Alternatively, the machine could be returned and re-cleared under Rule 16 of CER, 2002. (AI Summary)
